Getting there and away

Air

Phitsanulok airport serves the area with daily flights to Bangkok. It's a few kilometres out of town, but it is easy to get a motorcycle taxi or tuk-tuk to take you there.

Train

The train station is in the centre of town, at the end of Naresuan Rd, within easy walking distance of the hotels and the riverfront area.

Bus

If you are arriving in Phitsanulok by bus, you will probably be dropped off at the main bus station, located three km from downtown. From there, a motorcycle taxi can be hired for 50B into town. When leaving Phitsanulok, another option for the trip back to Bangkok is to buy a ticket and board one of the private bus services near the train station. Both Chedchai Tour and Phtisanulok Yanyon pick up passengers on Ekathosarot Rd, with the latter being the more popular choice among the locals.

Rental Car
You certainly don't need a car to get around to the sites in the city, but if you are journeying to the national parks east of town or to Sukhothai to the west, then renting a car is a good option. The best place to rent a car is the global chain of Budget Rental at the airport. If you are calling from town, they can arrange drop-off and pick-up service at your hotel. Compact or economy cars will cost about 1,400B, not including insurance.
